Back in November when I was ruining the Internet with my daily blog posts, I came up with a real gem for a potential topic – a post about hoods. Specifically, how much I love to wear hoods.
I wrote a few sentences about how I wear a hood almost every day at some point, and noted that my prime hood-wearing hours are 8-10 pm and 6-8 am.
It was pret-ty fascinating stuff, clearly. Hard to believe it didn’t make the cut.
At the time, my husband was itching to do a guest post for me, but I was reluctant to put him in the driver’s seat. This is a professional operation, pal – you can’t be any geek off the street. Gotta be handy with the keyboard, if you know what I mean. Earn your keep!
Bloggers, MOUNT UP.
So instead I gave him a drawing assignment. If he did well, he would lose the training wheels and earn the right to write.
Specifically, I tasked him with drawing a picture to accompany the conflict portion of my post, which is – I have trouble finding hoods that fit me properly. JAW-DROPPING, I KNOW. Many hoods stop short and don’t fully cover my head, because apparently I have the neck length of a baby giraffe.
Pretty interesting, no?……………………….? Wake up – I’m almost done.
Anyway, I was just going back through my garbage drafts folder, and stumbled upon the picture that my husband drew:
Apparently this is what my husband thinks I look like.
He drew me as a zombie, because he is 12, but that still doesn’t explain why I look like a 50-year-old man. Thanks, dear, but NO POST FOR YOU.

You are hilarious!!!! Hilarious. I’m sitting at my cubicle 15 minutes from departing for the day and you just made me laugh as hard as I have in the past few days. Thank You!!!
P.S. I’m friends with Carin Gulstrand (we met in Missoula in college, but are both from the Twin Cities). She told me about your post a few weeks ago and I’ve sent it to all of my friends and family already. highly entertaining!!
Thanks for reading and sharing! Go Team Minnesota!
That totally looks like a police artist sketch of some hooligan.
Totally. If this is an accurate depiction, I might actually be the Unabomber.
Laughed out loud when I read this.
If you’d like, I can have him draw your profile as well so you can hang it in your office.
Hell hath no fury like a woman who sees her husband’s drawing of her.
Truth.
You know what that picture reminds me of? That drawing where you see the two faces- the pretty lady and the witch. Of course with yours I saw the pretty lady.
You might need your eyes checked, but I do appreciate the sentiment.
Hahahaha!! OMG that is awesome and hideous.
I cannot stop laughing. I am so entertained. I hope he thought the couch was comfy!
